Looking to Replace stock RCS Headset with Sealed Bearing Headset need help

[IOUZIP]

I am putting together a new 100mm Fork like Bolton and Amazon sells for my 2019 RCS. I really want to replace the stock Neco caged roller bearings that came on the bike and switch to a sealed cartridge bearing set. Has anyone done this and can offer me help with picking the right headset.

I would not count on just word of mouth go to a bike shop and get it measured and buy them.

Timpo does this work? I have found a FSA headset Orbit Z on Amazon.

I wanted to post an update. Shocks are now 120mm with rebound adjustment. The headset fit perfectly and only mod was to cut the fork tube down. I am going out for a test ride. I will post more install pictures later tonight.

Went for a 30 min ride today at a local park and rode single track trails with a few 8ft drops. Shocks are so much better all around. I am still dialing in the setup 15 psi tire pressure and 110psi shock pressure. Overall very happy.

Lowes had just what I needed. Item 24628 1-1/2-INX12-IN Sink Tailpipe and 23525 1-in SCH40 Plug to tap the lower race in place.

I used an extension to pop out the stock cups. I used a piece of aluminum to tap in the upper and lower cups.

Test fit I used 2 10mm stem spacers. Marked and cut. Banged in the star nut.

The fork is bottoming out with 100 psi. I have set it at 110 psi which is max pressure. If it still bottoms out I will have to add a spacer or two. My sag is a little low now. I will have to get back to the trail to verify.

I picked this one off Amazon. $150 shipped. Only 120mm forks had rebound adjustment.

The stock Juiced RipCurrent S fork is an Air Suspension Fork with Hydraulic lockout and 80 mm Travel

I ordered a set of RockShox Bottomless Tokens and Air Cap Kit 32mm Solo Air Reba/SID /

I will start with 1 token and add from there. I'll repost when I have it dialed in.

I noticed this when installing the fork. !CAUTION

So I purchased the RockShox Bottomless Tokens and Air Cap Kit 32mm and installed it with 1 token to start. If anyone want to follow in these foot steps.
